Gender Discussion #62

[MoistPlinth]

God, I love JK so much, she’s amazing!

I try not to talk about this too much at home as my kids (teens and young adults) are very much TWAW TMAM, being of the age where they have several trans friends. We also have a relative who is trans (over 6ft stocky, now a woman. Autistic, trauma in their past, mental health issues, all the usual) I refuse to call him “she” when talking about him to my kids and to one of the parents (who have said before that they have concerns, and despite the “everything is wonderful now she is her authentic self” from other family members knows that, actually, things are just as bad mental health wise) I suspect this is his solution to magic away the autism that he’s always been in denial about having. So bloody sad.

As an autistic woman with autistic children it bloody terrifies me how this has taken hold. I would have been trans as a kid for sure! What a brilliant way to fit into a group and get rid of horrible annoying periods and breasts! I could weep when I see young girls thinking because they don’t like these things it must mean they’re boys really. No, puberty is just a shit time, being a woman is a PITA monthly, attention from boys and men because you’ve suddenly sprouted breasts is gross.

I’m very lucky that although I’ve lost a few friends because of my views (trans/nb kids, all autistic. Why can’t they see the connection?) I have a good few more that know it’s dangerous bollocks and we can have discussions about it. And share our love for JK.

BBC article re murder of Holly Bramley by her husband:

Spoiler: Warning: disturbing and graphic

Holly Bramley death: 'Monster' cut wife's body into over 200 pieces https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-68742998

All these men can fuck off with their ‘trans genocide’. When did you ever hear about a “trans woman” being killed and dismembered in such a horrific manner and society barely blinks an eye? Why isn’t there as much outrage for Holly as there was for Brianna? What aren’t all these trans “women” shouting out against male violence against women if they think they are as much of as a woman like the rest of us?

We know exactly why of course.

Also it doesn't help that even cutting your hair is seen as transitioning. My daughter asked to cut her hair because of sensory issues. Since the chop she has been asked repeatedly is she transitioning and what her new name is!!!!
She's growing it back because of this ! It's gone too far can't even have a hair cut without the trans lobby. Being a girl is much more than the length of your hair!!

I don't know how JK does it. I can't even imagine the threats she gets and how careful she needs to be for her own safety.

But I'm glad she does.

Ffs another seemingly innocuous group I’ve had to leave. Why didn’t I read the group rules blurb?! The sycophantic handmaidens in the comments made me fizzy with rage.

Just wanted to post a refreshing incident today.
It isn't groundbreaking, but any win is a win.
A year after my husband (mid 60s, huge beard, very obviously a bloke) was asked at the dentist if he was pregnant I had a very different experience today.
Tbf to the dental practice had just downloaded the NHS forms. He refused to answer and had a dig at the dentist about it. The dentist was very apologetic and agreed it was ridiculous. He did say that the forms were generic and not based on sex or age, but did agree it was a stupid question to ask a man.
Anyway, I went for my check up and they've started using their own forms. Still NHS dentist.
Today it said 'if you are female is there a chance that you might be pregnant?'
Like I said, not huge but nice to see a bit of common sense appearing.

You husband should have said, “yes, I believe I am pregnant and am entitled to free NHS dental care for up to twelve months after I’ve given birth.”

Another cracking post from JKR

There's a fella in a frock at work who's been pissing all over the seats in the ladies toilets for months. On Friday, me and my post menopausal colleague were the only women in the building but there was red 'period blood' splashed all down the outside of the toilets and on the floor so presumably this chap has upped his fetish with food colouring, what to expect next?

I had to leave that group last week. Like all Facebook groups aimed at women, it very quickly seemed to turn into a group where transwomen except actual women to blow smoke up their arse. And predictably enough the handmaidens oblige. It’s an interesting phenomenon though and happens all the bloody time. I’d love to know what the handmaidens get out of it.

 

[Metropolis]

I don’t know whether this is real, but it’s bloody funny. Reminds me of Adrian Mole:

 

[Miggsy]

I’ve seen so much on SM this week that calling transwomen men is “dehumanising”. Yet we are just supposed to accept ovary owner, chestfeeder, birthing parent etc?

 

[blahblahboring]

Interesting that Himdia is more upset about the imagined violence against trans people than he is about the ACTUAL violence committed by trans people. He’s a grub.

 

[Shackmaheid]

I've decided I'm not transphobic. It's actually sexphobic to not recognise men and women have different chromosomes.
A lot of the language around believing there are 2 sexes is negative and I know that's not who I am.

I keep thinking in a medical emergency what is one of the most important things to figure out. Are you male or female. No one cares if you fancy men, women, trees. If you play dress up on a Friday night. What's important is to get the appropriate treatment for the body you have, not the body you want.

I hope that this trans bubble bursts soon. I'm sick and tired of it. If common sense was that common, we shouldn't have got to this point.

You must report this. That’s gross. Forcing women to non-consentingly collude in the fetish is part of the thrill.

Take photos, document everything, ask other women to do so too. No one would tolerate a woman making a mess like that, so there’s no reason why a man should get away with, especially when it’s seemingly paraphiliac in nature.

From the NY Times article

In England, for example, a yearslong fight over a proposed law that would have made it easier for transgender people to change the gender on their identification documents galvanized a political movement to try to exclude transgender women from women’s sports, prisons and domestic violence shelters.
“The intention with the Cass review is to be neutral, but I think that neutral has maybe moved,” said Laurence Webb, a representative from Mermaids, a trans youth advocacy organization in Britain. “Extremist views have become much more normalized.”


Oh fuck off you cunt.

Just who does this character think he is?

I’ve been keeping an eye on that account since he first started fangirling Himdia and going for JK a couple of weeks ago. He’s a no-mark lawyer currently not working. I’m sure he’s just doing it for attention.

I think I'd actually wet myself!
I chatted to a few people today in Edinburgh who will be there on Saturday too, also got up the courage to talk to Mr Menno, he was lovely.
I've seen him before but never dared speak to him.
After the horrible last week I had, today was exactly what I needed, I know speaking up is the right thing to do.

Menno stood next to me last time I went to a LWS and my son who was also with me was in awe (we both watch his videos)!

Love JK even more
